of schools, informed the Atlanta Public School Board that Georgia Tech had made
a firm offer to purchase the O’Keefe Middle School. It was located at the corner of
6th Street and Techwood Drive. The original building, built as a junior high school,
opened in October 1923. It sold at the end of 1977-78 school session, and Georgia Tech
incorporated it as part of the college campus where it remains today.
Dec. 4, 1912: After a month’s delay, Dan Carey, Atlanta’s general manager of parks,
received authorization for the $350 he requested to relocate the Erskine Memorial
Fountain. A few days later, as Carey promised, it was placed in Grant Park, where
it remains today Honoring her late father, Mrs. Ruby Erskine Ward of New York

Atlanta. It was originally located in Hardy Ivy Park at the junction of of Peachtree,
Baker, and West Peachtree.

Dec. 14,1988: Mayor Andrew Young received a telegram from Paris, France. It read:
Very deeply hope that the report is not true regarding your having granted permission
to destroy the structure in which Margaret Mitchell wrote the great American classic
Gone With the Wind. It would be a great credit to your administration if you were to
assure the preservation of this landmark, which means so much to millions of people
all over the world. The telegram was signed by Olivia de Havilland, who played Melanie
in the film. The Margaret Mitchell House & Museum still stands today at the corner of
10th and Crescent in Midtown.
